Read Proverbs 17:1  Our verse for today talks about choices.  Let’s try some choices:  Would you rather be a lion or a bear or an elephant?  Why?  Would you rather be a famous person or a rich person or to be left alone?  Why?  If you were in a fight, would you rather have a pistol or a shot gun or a machete?  Why?  Solomon gives us a choice here in our verse.  You can have a big house with plenty of food or a little house with just a little food.  But with the big house comes fighting and fussing.  But with the little house and dry food comes peace and quiet.  Solomon made his choice in our verse: he would rather have just a dry crust of bread with peace and quiet than to live in a big house with plenty of food with strife.  I agree with Solomon.  I would rather have family who love me than live in a big house filled with angry relatives.  Which would you rather have?  Why?
